After managing to bring on board Dennis Anyembe and Alfred Scriven to play for the Kenya national team, Harambee Stars coach Engin Firat will once again be on the road to try and convince more players with Kenyan roots to turn out for the Stars.Anyembe and Scriven, a defender and a striker, respectively, were named in the Stars’ provisional squad that will play Iran in an international friendly match in exactly a week’s time in Tehran.##NAJAVA_MECA_7118100##Scriven was born in Kenya to a British dad and a Kenyan mother, while Anyembe, whose father is a Kenyan, was born in Denmark and has already turned out for the Danish junior teams before eventually agreeing to play for Kenya.In an interview, the Turkish coach says there are more players with Kenyan associations that he will be reaching out to try and convince them to turn out for Kenya, a task he admits may not be too easy.”There are some high-profile players with Kenyan roots, but convincing them to play for Kenya is another story,” the tactician said.Defender Daniel Anyembe plays for Danish Superliga club Viborg FF.His dad is Kenyan.#BringAnyembeHome pic.twitter.com/imwEWdks4v— Ole Teya (@TeyaKevin) December 12, 2022 He added that after the international break he will be heading to Europe to engage more players that he has already made contact with.”After March, I will travel to Europe to talk to some of the boys there, but this needs time. It cannot go through with one call because you have to explain to them and show your personal trust to them.”It is a very delicate situation, but if we have a good start and find everybody, then for sure we will have some surprising players,” he added.Some players eligible for Kenya include; Eliot Matazo of Monaco, Linton Maina of Koln, Tyler Onyango of Everton, Jonah Ayunga of St. Mirren, George Gitau of Middlesbrough among others.
